hi
i just got the torque converter and new front pump from the chicago tranny place.. but i need to know how tight do i torque those bolts that hold the pump on to tranny and i guess ill use some blue locktite too

 

That's a good question, I can't find where it talks about actually installing the crazy thing in the FSM......

 

what is a FSM?

ya as the chicago total transmissions didnt know the specs either on how tight to tigthen them but figured they would know i guess just tight? and a 1/4 turn tighter with blue locktite?

i wouldnt care if it was an exterior bolt but since its inside this thing and u gotta pull tranny out to tigthen i only wanna do it once lol

 

Factory Service Manual. If you don't have one, get it here. (grab the 01 version.)

 

ok thanks

 

guess ill just tighten by hand tight then do a 1//4 turn more and use blue locktite as I cant tell what grade these bolts are they just stamped with EX

 

Found it, 15 foot pounds.

 

awesome thank you very much


it sucks these bolts you cant tell how to tighten them from that FSM it had first page as all its stamped with is EX cant tell grade etc


but thank you (:
